Bill Moyers Covers the Divestment Movement

Bill Moyers sat down and talked with Ellen Dorsey, Executive Director of the Wallace Global Fundand Tom Van Dyck, Chairman of As You Sowabout the fossil fuel divestment movement.

The conversation does a great job of covering some of the key issues -- including myths and concerns around the perception that divesting necessarily means sacrificing returns and could represent a breach of fiduciary duty and the risks that unburnable fossil fuel reserves represent to investment portfolios and society as a whole.
